You start out performing because it's fun, then you learn more things and you want to do more than go Na-na-na-na on a stage. The production end is interesting, writing is interesting, and you learn to coordinate all these things.

I don't like to be told what to do at all. That's unfortunate because a lot of people come up with good ideas and can direct you.

'Feminist comedy,' practically an oxymoron, had a couple of good years after WWII. Chalk it up to the forced female autonomy that occurred during wartime, when Rosie the Riveter went to work in the factories, constructing the Allies' war machines while taking charge of the finances, the home, and the children.

The way I paint is similar to rock in that you don't stand around and say, 'Gee, what are they talking about?' Rock is simple, blunt, colorful. Same with my paintings. You don't stand back and wonder what it is. That's Jim Morrison, that's a panda, that's a scene on the West Coast. It's not abstract.

Being in a rock n' roll band was like being in a Sherman tank. Nothing got to you. You were surrounded and protected by men.

There is an attitude that we should be able to have everything. No, you shouldn't be able to have anything. I'd like a helicopter, but I can't afford a helicopter, so I don't buy one. People are buying stuff they can't afford on credit. I bought my Ford hybrid with cash.

Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead did as much for mankind as any president.

Death is like taking an intermission when you can't come back. I like living and being around.

Rock roll is not obscure, it's really easy to understand. So is my painting.

Jerry Garcia used to take his paints on the road. I don't do that. Either I'm a singer or a painter. I'm not good at multi-tasking.

I don't want to see old people doing rap or rock and roll. It makes me cringe.

I'm not very good at multi-tasking. Most people aren't, but they think they are. The mind is really better when you're really focused on one thing.

The same person is coming through in a different medium.... My art is simple, direct and definite.

You can do any number of things in the music business aside from trying to look like you're 25. To me it's embarrassing.

If I were gay, life would be a lot simpler. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not.

Through literacy you can begin to see the universe. Through music you can reach anybody. Between the two there is you, unstoppable.

I'm 5 feet 7 but my legs weren't long enough to be a big-time model. From the knees up, everything is long but from ankle to knee, if I was in proportion, I'd be 5 feet 9.
